Auto is a product development platform that makes the workflows, rules, and product decisions behind an application visible and reviewable. It lets teams build and check products from an approved product model, ensuring the final build matches what was intended. Auto turns a prototype into a production-ready product by making missing decisions explicit and keeping the approved product as the reference for development.

Problem
AI-driven development tools often make decisions that aren't visible to the user, leading to a "build drift" where the final product doesn't match the intended workflows, rules, or outcomes. Prototypes and prompts are incomplete sources of truth, and without a clear record of decisions, teams struggle to recover the product's intended behavior and ship something that meets real user needs.
Solution
Auto provides a platform that makes the workflows, rules, and product decisions behind an application visible and reviewable. It creates a persistent product model that captures capabilities, goals, outcomes, and behaviors, allowing users to inspect, correct, and approve what Auto understood before any building begins. Auto builds the frontend and backend from the approved product model, and proposed changes are shown separately until accepted, ensuring the product you approve is the reference for the build. This approach lets teams start fresh from what the product must do, not from every choice the prototype happened to make, and keeps the product in the build loop as changes are reviewed and approved.
Target Audience
Primary customers are product teams and engineers who need to move from a prototype to a production-ready product while maintaining control over the workflows, rules, and decisions that define the application.
Features
- Product model that makes capabilities, goals, outcomes, and behaviors visible and persistent
- Review proposed changes in context, with the ability to accept or reject before building
- Separate display of proposed changes from the current approved product
- Commands and queries that distinguish between information retrieval and product changes
- Product structure with requirements, user flows, rules, scenarios, screen views, and people/access
- Builds from approved product decisions, not from the prototype as the source of truth
